"Fake News;" became a thing during the US Election Cycle of 2016. And by a thing we mean the term became popularized with Main Stream Media (MSM) and the Left as a way to counteract news sources
such as Breitbart and Info Wars which published many stories that were:
A. Supposedly untrue
B. Supposedly influenced the election against Hillary Clinton
In oppression to free speech, it is the goal of many sources such as Facebook
to shut them down in order to prevent them from having such a widespread impact on Politics.
This completely ignores the fact that outlets such as MSNBC, CNN and other obviously left leaning "News Agencies" were decidedly anti-Trump,
and published a myriad of unverifiable stories. It seems they are not so much interested in truth as they are propagating their own agenda, while suppressing the information that shines a light on it. Another term for this is
propaganda.
But "Fake News;" has been around for a lot longer than that. Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart and
"The Colbert Report" with Stephen Colbert were obvious left leaning satirical shows that put a liberal/progressive slant on everything. The Left NEVER batted an eye
at this. Again, it fit their agenda.
Thus, in late December, 2016 this site was started as an "In Your Face" to the Left and it's propaganda. It is styled loosely in the fashion of The Onion, our hero.
On the other hand, this site, although decidedly Conservative from the owner's perspective, wishes to make light of everything. Not just the Left, but the Right as well. And everything in between.
We also want to publish funny stories from our readers. If you have an idea, head over to our Submit a News Story page and feel free to contribute. Also - we want to make your browsing
experience as streamlined as possible - so there are no advertisements, no pop-ups, no spam. Independant ownership allows this. We may, in the future take donations to keep this site active, but currently are not in need of it.
If you like what you see, or don't but at least like what we stand for, which is Freedom of Speech, please share us on Facebook and other Social Media.
